Chuff's funny hand?

Postby SailleSkinklover » Fri Sep 21, 2007 1:37 pm

Does anybody else ever see their Bluey just lounging with their forelegs in this position?
It really cracks me up! It looks like he wants a backwards "Gimme five". . .
Image

I don't have pics of this yet, but he sometimes "slithers" without using his back legs, and I call it his snake-move. Its so funny!


I love my sweet boy. I know Santos is ridiculously cute, but how could anyone not just love Chuff's face? (even with food on it?)


Image

And sometimes he's such a muppet!
Image

I'm not his only friend though. . . He likes to go exploring with his buddy!

Image

And finally, the very difficult to get and much coveted tongue shot.

There, I have obeyed the Law!!! I know, my tongue shot is nothing on some of you guys, but I'll eventually get the hang of it. :D

He does the slither thing in the grass sometimes if he's going slightly downhill, and/or when he's trying to fit somewhere smallish. And I have to admit, sometimes I ask him "Hey Chuff, do slither-legs!" and I'll gently push his legs when he's running around on the carpet so he just automatically holds his legs in that position for a few steps. Its really funny!
I'll also let him use my fingers to get good footing and push off. he can really move when he wants to.
We just recently got a video cam, so I'll try and get some footage of it. :D
So does yours ever do this? Or sit with their hands backwards?
